Exelixis wins patent case against MSN; generic launch blocked until Jan 2030
EXELIXIS, INC.
- Delaware court rejected MSN's invalidity challenges to three cabozantinib patents (11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015), all expiring Jan 15, 2030.
- Court found MSN's ANDA product infringes those three patents; separate patent 11,298,349 (exp 2032) was not infringed.
- Final judgment due Oct 22; FDA cannot approve MSN's generic before Jan 15, 2030 at the earliest.
- Ruling protects Exelixis' cabozantinib franchise from generic entry for over five additional years.
